How hard did the pin go in?
Did it drive in hard, or did ya lightly tap it in?

If you have to lightly tap it, I might have to start checking driveshafts!

It went in with effort(hammer and punch), but not enough apparently.

The worm clamp works well, but I might machine up a sleeve to slip over and then hold it with a grub screw. Looks a little more factory then a worm clamp!

I have to say, yours is the first I've heard of coming out.

I'd go with red locktite, just to make sure.

I just looked at the last 3 years for that drive shaft, and there have been 387 go out the door and I've never heard of that issue.

Mine had a SS clamp on it for many years.......

I just checked 16 drive shafts.
14 were good and 2 had issues with the pin sliding in WAY TO EASY!

Soooo, Do nothing to that driveshaft.
I'll send you a good one tomorrow with the pin installed, along with a return label.

And Charlie proves again why you support the sponsors!!
Jason, to help your wanting a cub per attachment (or implement) I have 2-1450's, 1200, 100, 102, 104, 782 and 2 OT's. I also have a multitude of said attachments. 4 snow blades, qa42a, 1a tiller, 4 mower decks(maybe 5), and for the sleeve hitch, 2x 1 bottom field turning (dirt) plows(8 and 10 inch), rear grader blade, and cultivator. This is just what I have! Do some searching and even thinking and the sky is the limit!!
I think you could have one of every model of IH built cub cadets and not have enough tractors to cover them.

Good morning, All. It looks like it's finally time to replace the Keepsake 1650's battery. I've always ran the 340 CCA Interstate battery however I noticed that SEARS now offers a DIE HARD with 340CCA that is cheaper and carries a full year free replacement versus the Interstate six month warranty. Anyone have any thoughts on which would be better? TIA

Way to go Charlie. Good customer service.

So I got my rear end out my hydro, but I think I bent it a little bit when i was getting it out. hopefully, it will go back together.

Menards carries 340 CCA L&G batteries as well. I have used several with very good results....around $40 each and same brand as TSC usually carries.

Exide brand I do believe.......
